Edge-it

ABSTRACT

A U shaped plexiglas channel wrapped with variable colored neoprene which, in practice, slips on and off a table edge easily. However, a tapered design allows said channel to fit tightly over a table edge while in use. When as is commonly used, the user sitting at a table supports the forearms on a padded surface, protecting the arms from the rough edges and cleaning chemical residue remaining on the table surface

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0001] (1) The field of endeavor for which the invention pertains is aUtility Patent Application.

[0002] (2) There are no references to specific documents related to thisinvention. However, standard fold up table edges, computer desk edgesand miscellaneous table edges are known to be rough and uncomfortable.In addition, chemicals used to clean the surfaces irritate the skin offorearms and elbows of the user.

[0003] (3) This invention slipped over a table's edge is intended toprotect users arms from the afore mentioned conditions.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0004] (1) This invention is a U shaped plexiglas channel wrapped with aneoprene pad that slips over the edge of a table to protect the user'sarm from rough edges and/or cleaning chemical residue remaining on thetable surface.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0011] (1) This invention is an arm pad that fits on the edge of anystandard ¾″ fold up table or ¾″ miscellaneous table.

[0012] (2) The channel shaped product is designed with a smallerdimension at the opening of the channel to slide on and hold tightlyover a table edge.

[0013] (3) This channel used on the table edge in front of where theuser sits, is designed to protect the forearms and elbows from sharp oruncomfortable table edges. This will also protect the user from chemicalresidue remaining on the table after cleaning.

[0014] (4) This product will be manufactured out of {fraction (3/16)}″plastic or Plexiglas through injection molding in one U shaped solidpiece. Exterior surfaces will be wrapped with a neoprene or similarpadding. The padding could be an adhesive backed material, or a separateadhesive may be used to apply the neoprene.

[0015] (5) The unique features of this product that distinguishes itfrom other inventions is the size. This product as illustrated on thedrawings as a channel 2½″ wide by 8″ long by 1⅝″ high. Other sizes wouldbe available.

[0016] (6) Another unique feature that differs from other products isthat if and when the neoprene gets soiled or damaged on one side, it canbe flipped over to the opposite side.

[0017] (7) The primary market for which this product is related to isthe Bingo Industry. Due to it's size, it is easy to carry in bingo bags,purses or any small carry bags.

[0018] The secondary market is for schools, office or homes.

[0019] (8) Another unique feature would be the various amounts of colorsthe neoprene padding could be marketed with.

[0020] (9) This product will also be produced in various lengths orsizes.

What I claim as my invention is the edge-it
 1. A neoprene paddedplexiglas channel for slipping over an edge of a standard folding tableprotecting the user's forearms from rough edges and cleaning chemicalresidue, comprising: (A) Injection molded one piece {fraction (3/16)}″thick U shaped channel of various sizes and lengths for use as an armpad over rough table edges (B) Said channel consists of a narrowerdimension at the front opening opposed to a wider opening at the base ofthe channel, whereby (C) Said channel can be easily slipped on and off atable edge, whereby (D) Said channel when slipped over an edge of atable will provide a tighter and more comfortable fit (E) Said channelto have all exterior faces incased with a continuous wrap of {fraction(3/16)}″ neoprene, adhered with a self adhesive back or separatelyapplied adhesive (F) Neoprene to be trimmed evenly at all exposed edgesof the channel, whereby (G) Allowing a comfortable and protected surfaceto rest the forearms (H) Said neoprene to be available in a selection ofcolors providing a more marketable product
